Canyoning

Canyoning is a mix of land and water travel, descending picturesque canyons on foot (or rear end), ropes and swimming. Born by adrenalin-seekers, the growth in popularity of Canyoning in New Zealand means gentler trips are increasingly available.

Horse Trekking

Galloping down an isolated beach on a trusty steed, sand flying, the salt air whipping in your hair... (admit it, that's how you picture yourself on a horse)
Horse trekking is offered all over New Zealand, guided trips catering to both experienced riders and those with less time in the saddle.

Snow and Ice

Walking and Trekking

Walking and trekking the tracks throughout New Zealand is top of the to-do list for many travellers to New Zealand. From gentle, scenic short walks to multi-day adventures, experience Aotearoa on foot and immerse yourself in the bush, beach and wilderness you came to see.

Water Activities

Boat Cruises

With over 15,000km of coastline to enjoy, New Zealand is naturally quite fond of boats… Boat cruises are a great way to explore NZ's rivers, lakes, beaches and fjords, offering a different perspective on both our landscape and wildlife.

Diving

Get deep - explore life beneath the surface with diving, scuba or snorkelling. From the sub-tropical waters of the North Island to the clear, cool waters of the deep South, divers of all abilities can get up close and personal with New Zealand's wrecks, colourful seascape and fish.

Fresh Water Canoeing / Kayaking

Jet Boating

The need for speed is alive and well! Get up close and personal - at pace - with New Zealand rivers and lakes from the confines of a speedy little boat. Thrills, spins and scenery, jet boating is an adrenaline rush appropriate for young, old and everyone in between.

My husband and I decided to take a ride on these big jet boats. It was fantastic, there was over 20 people on board . They said they had 2 engines with big v8's. What power. The trip was fast and very exciting .The driver what a scream, but we did learn some history as well. The spins finished it off. Such great value for 30 minutes. I would recommend this to any one

We spent 2 weeks touring the north island and loved the jet boats so much, we called in at Rotorua again on our way back home. So we did it twice!! The driver (Ross) was very knowledgeable about the region and the maori heritage of the area. We got some splashes and heaps of spins - we both just loved it! Thanks Kawarau Jet for a great end to our holiday! We have told everyone about the jet boats, I'm sure they're sick of hearing about it! We recommend this trip to everyone!

This was a fantastic experience - I've never had so much fun on the water in all my life. The crew were really friendly and although it was a bit "scary" it never once felt unsafe. A real adrenalin rush. Thanks Kawarau Jets - you were fantastic !!
